Valentino Prince is restarting his life in New York. He has a serious heart condition, and he signed up for Death-Cast so he could know what’s coming. It’s the night before Death-Cast goes live, and there’s one question on everyone’s mind: Can Death-Cast actually predict when someone will die, or is it just an elaborate hoax? Orion Pagan has waited years for someone to tell him that he’s going to die.

The two meet through an app called Last Friend, where people destined to die on a particular day can meet and quite literally become each other’s last friend. The plot follows protagonists Mateo and Rufus, who are informed via a call from Death-Cast that they are both going to die, so they decide to spend their final hours on Earth together. The title of both the book and its adaptation already gives readers and audiences a heads up in terms of how heartbreaking Silvera’s story is. With all this in mind, here is everything we know so far about the upcoming TV series adaptation. The novel also found something of a resurgence following the pandemic after it made rounds in several circles on #BookTok, leading it to climb bestsellers lists once more. Adam Silvera’s bestselling YA novel They Both Die at the End is finally getting an adaptation and we’re ecstatic! First published in 2017, the novel is notably the very first book in history with queer Latin characters to climb to the number spot on the New York Times’ Best Seller list.
